How to Grow:
Sow carrot seeds directly outdoors in loose, well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed. Prepare the soil by removing rocks and breaking up clumps to help roots grow straight and strong. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows, keeping the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Thin gradually to 2–3 inches apart for best root development.
Carrots grow best in full sun and benefit from steady, even watering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can cause forked roots.
Harvest & Use:
Harvest when roots reach full color and size, or earlier for baby carrots. To store, trim tops to one inch and refrigerate or place in a cool, moist environment. Danvers 126 holds well and maintains flavor, making it a smart choice for long-term storage and pantry use.
